Let's first be clear on what a concussion actually is first.
Any force or trauma or injury that immediately alters brain function.
The personmay or may notbe knocked unconscious.
It is not a bad idea to go to the hospital when there is a suspected head-neck injury. Especially if it is a trauma that may require first-aid, bleeding, ora possible skull fracture. Signs of dizziness, confusion, headache, amnesia are indications of trouble and should be checked out initially by a medical professional in most cases.
Once they are not able to find a problem that they can see and send you on your way (90% of the time) then you would be best served by an Upper Cervical Specific Doctor of Chiropractic.
Because there is a physical mis-alignment that occurs with concussion injury between the head and the neck, this Specialist is the exact person to be seen. An Upper Cervical Specific Doctor examines the head-neck area and can run various tests to locate and prove the problem but also correct it.
So to summarize, it is a good idea to initially go to the hospitalto rule out any trauma that requires first-aid care and then go to the Upper Cervical Specific Doctor of Chiropractic to facilitate proper healing. Especially if you are an athlete and looking to get back into competition safely then this is the only way to do it.
I should know, I not only have suffered from a couple of concussions myself but I am a Concussion Specialist who has found this Upper Cervical Problem in 100% of athletes after concussion and once properly corrected are strong and safe to not have another concussion again.
